마데이라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

The Pico Ruivo mountain hut lies just below the summit and is the perfect spot for a break in the thin mountain air. Here you can take shelter, have something to eat, refill your water bottles, and gather your strength for the final ascent. It's ideal for enjoying the view of the surrounding ridges before continuing on to Madeira's highest point.

The Casa de Abrigo is accessible only on foot and is located at a central junction of several hiking trails: PR1.2 – Vereda do Pico Ruivo: A 2.8 km, moderately difficult trail from Achada do Teixeira to the hut. PR1 – Vereda do Areeiro: A challenging but scenic trail from Pico do Arieiro, 7 km long, to the hut. PR1.1 – Vereda da Ilha: An 8.2 km descent from the hut to the village of Ilha with a 1,376 m elevation gain. PR1.3 – Vereda da Encumeada: An 11.2 km trail to Encumeada, which is currently (May 2025) closed.

The hike from Achada do Teixeira to Pico Ruivo (PR1.2) is one of the most popular and accessible routes to climb Madeira's highest peak. It's ideal for hikers seeking a shorter yet impressive tour. The Achada do Teixeira car park is accessible by car and offers ample parking. The trail is mostly paved and well-marked, with moderate gradients and some stair sections. On a clear day, impressive panoramic views of surrounding peaks such as Pico do Areeiro and the São Jorge Valley are offered.

There is a large parking lot in front of it. This is where the tour to Pico Ruivo starts on the northern route.

A hearty hut with delicious dishes and a friendly Tyrolean hut host.

Incredibly beautiful cafe with lots of attention to detail... And an unbeatably delicious lime tart... Outside on the balcony, lots of finches fly to the tables looking for the last cake crumbs on the plates. From here you can take a shuttle back to the car park, €5 per person.

The mountains of Madeira are fantastic! 🤩
